Two beauties
Hi all, here are two of my last purchases for comments: a yataghan and a guradè. Is the handle of the yataghan rhino? it's quite different from other horn handles that i have, but maybe is a different kind of cow Thank you

Hello Flavio,
congratulations on those pieces, they're very nice. Especially that gurade, each collection must have one What brand of blade is it? It doesnt seem to be a G.G., nor a Wilkinson. Also, the date on the yataghan is 1274 AH, which translates to 1857 AD. |

The GG has been discussed on the Ethiopia, Anyone? thread. It stands for GESETZLICH GESCHUETZT, which means Mark of Guarantee (more or less). Cheers, RON

THE HORN HANDLE SURE LOOKS LIKE RHINO TO ME AND WOULD BE AN UNUSUAL MATERIAL FOR TURKISH SWORDS. VERY GOOD PICTURES BY THE WAY. CONGRADULATIONS ON THE TWO BEAUTIES.
